The acceptance by President- Tsft of
an Invitation to turn the first spadeful

gagement which led lo the lS.noo
m.Ie tour that he has no more than
half completed. All California Is In

In his speeches todav Mr. Taft often

The ITeaident's speech at Sacramen
to t.wlay was In behalf of the proposed
treaties with Nicaragua, and Hondur

them.
The President said that. broadly
srteaktnB. the two proposed treaties
before the Senate would Kive the Cen
tral American republics a financial
aeent tn the Cnlted States, who would
settle their ex!st'n;r debts on a Just
basis and who would point the road
to peace and prosperity to two repub
lics, rich In natural resources but torn
by strife and revolution.
The President pointed out the effi
cacy of a similar arrangement with
Stnio IomlnKO. where this Government
collects the customs and sees that for
eign debts are panl. exereiainB a bene
ficent supervision that .Mr. Taft said
haa accrued to the upbuilding of Santo

the I'nited States Senate, the President
said, was based largely on tile propo
sition that they would make en ta.iKlInt
alliances with republics In this hemis
phere for the promotion of a PankinK
contract since tne aioney for the pay
ment of the detvts of the two republics
would be furnished by American Inter

the President was that the Monro,

A technical legal question upon
which no direct decisions are found In
the lawbooks was raised by Attorney
I R. Webster in the case of Dr. John
Grant Lyman before Federal Judge
Bean yesterday.
Summoned before the court on- a
warrant ot removal to California Dr.
'Lyman Is accused of conspiring to aid
and abet his own escape. Attorney
Webster arguel that It Is not a crime
for an arrested person to escape and
therefore it cannot be Illegal for him
to conspire or abet his own escape.
Deputy United States District At
torneys Evans and Johnson, while
acknowledging that the escape was not
a crime, maintained that It waa a
crime for Lyman to conspire with
others to escape. Both sides submitted
briefs on the question and Judge Bean
announced that he would try to decide
the question Monday morning. If the
decision is against the Government
other steps will be taken to hold
Lyman on the charge under which he
was arrested originally In California
for alleged fraudulent use of the malls.
Pr. Lyman appeared In court on
crutches an Interested listener to the
argument. He Is beginning to show
the effect of his Imprisonment in his
apparel, but although he Is not as well
groomed as he might desire he appears
to be confident He weighs fully 250
pounds.
When Lyman was taken back to the
County Jail he requested permission
from his custodian. Deputy Marshal
Becker, to be taken to a grocery store.
There he ordered sufficient to stock
a fashionable grill for a few days.
When asked about his large purchase
he replied that his friends in Jail were
entitled to live as well as he and that
it would not be a pleasure to satisfy
himself unless they also shared in
the feast.
